A father watched his young daughter as she played in the garden. Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes. …
…
Suddenly she stopped and stared at the ground. The father went over to her to see what had captured her attention. …
…
He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating. …
…
“Daddy, what are those spiders doing?” she asked. …
…
“They’re mating,” her father replied.
“What do you call the spider on top?”
“That’s a Daddy Longlegs.”
The little girl thought for a moment. “So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?” she asked.
The father’s heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question. He laughed, and then replied, “No sweetheart. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.”
The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then lifted her foot and stomped the spiders flat. “Well, we’re not having any of that gаy shiт in our garden.”
